A Video tutorial made for university skimming over the details of using Grasshopper (Parametric Software) with Karamba (Structural Simulation) With Galapagos (Computational Evolutionary Solver)…

Hohoho! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015 everyone!

These are some 4681 little Christmas snowflakes for those who miss real Christmas weather.

Hope you like it!

Used: Galapagos/Hoopsnake and vray 2.0 ;)

P.S. Wanted to generate 37449 of those truncated stella octangula but my computer crashed ;)

Tong Zi Dan is a series of generatively designed vases made from dental gypsum.



The initial egg design gets randomly populated by a cloud of points which form the center for surfaces that trim the shape perpendicular to its curvature. A generative algorithm (Galapagos) is then used to create the area of all faces within a certain min/max range. Finally the faces are unrolled and laid onto a flat sheet to allow the production of the mold with a laser…

I have been playing with recording the slider activity and fitness values as Galapagos runs a solution.  The parameter changes are recorded using the 'record' component and then sent to a MySQL table.  

It is then possible to query the database and easily investigate the entire range of solutions offered by the evolutionary solver.

For example, I can search for all genomes with a fitness > x... or all genomes with a gene = y.  Or I can display multiple…

This is a definition (WIP, attached) which creates sections for a laser cutter from opened or closed single geometry.  This won't work on every geometry, but it will work for a lot of them.  It uses offsets and booleans so it may be difficult to predict.

I'm also playing with a way to minimize material area for cutting (with galapagos).  If anyone can offer help to improve it, let me know!
